What is it about golf that brings out the worst in athletes from other sports?

Charles Barkley really should go to jail for massacring innocent golf balls and Derek Jeter has a criminal handicap, its in the 30s.  These dubious achievements pall next to Jerry Rice, the hall of fame wide receiver and wanna be dance star,  who set a new low two weeks ago. Rice got chucked from a National Tour tournament when his caddy used a range finder to judge the distance to a pin, which is a major no-no for PGA events.

Now, for sure, it’s ridiculous that both Rice and his caddy didn’t know the rules, but the fact is, range finders are great tools for the average golfer. So here are our picks for scopes for the rest of us.

  • Nikon LR 1200 Laser Range Finder ($350): Nikon pretty much leads the way on sticking lasers into range finders. The LR1200 does a dang nice job: Accurate to 1200 meters, it will give you pin placement down to about a foot. Now all you need to do is actually make that shot.
  • Callaway LR550 Dual Lens Optical Range Finder ($300): Callaway does a nice job with a medium price optical scope. It wont be as dead accurate as the Nikon, but honestly you won’t miss the performance with your crappy short game.
  • Galileo Golf Scope ($20): Honestly, I am not sure why any amateur would golf without this thing. For twenty lousy bucks you can take away all the nonsense about judging the pin, get this gizmo and improve your shot.
